“Senators wishing to move forward will vote in favor. They will vote to move this procedure forward so that we can turn it into a bipartisan product and make a law for the American people, that is what working-class families want, Madam President. They want us to act. They want us to legislate. Today they’re going to see exactly who got their backs. “Now the Republican leader continues to claim that his bill is an attempt at a bipartisan solution. But, of course, the bill was drafted only through Republicans, without the participation of Democrats, and he rushed to land. The Republican leader himself spoke of his caucus’ lack of urgency to address the problem. Therefore, the idea that Democrats, who approved a comprehensive support plan through the House nearly 4 months ago, are the cause of the delays and the obstruction is ridiculous. It’s been the Republicans from the beginning — the record shows. “The ‘no’ are 47. Three-fifths of the properly selected senators and they swore they had not voted in favor, the movement is not carried away. “
Senate Republicans failed Thursday to advance their very small stimulus package amid opposition from Democrats who called the measure inadequate, pointing to the decrease in the chances of Congress taking some other economic recovery step to deal with pandemic victims before the November election.
After months of struggling to trump deep internal divisions over the scope of some other bailout, Republicans presented a front almost attached to their new plan, while Democrats opposed each other en masse, denying him the 60 votes he would have needed to move on. The result was never in doubt, and Republicans held the vote largely in an effort to blame Democrats for the lack of progress in a compromise.
The 52-47 votes basically along partisan lines, with Democrats uniformly in opposition and a Republican, Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, who joins them to prevent the move from moving forward.
“They can tell American families that they care more about politics than helping them,” said majority leader Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky about Democrats. “The senators who advance will vote for yes. They will vote to advance this procedure so that they can turn it into a bipartisan product and make a law for the American people.
The plan, which Republicans called their bill “weak,” cut billions of dollars from their original $1 trillion proposal filed in July. It included federal assistance for the unemployed, small businesses, and vaccine development.
But Democrats, who refused to settle for a proposal of less than $2. 2 trillion, argued that they had done little to deal with the economic devastation of the pandemic. It did not come with a set of stimulus controls for taxpayers or help state and local governments. facing monetary ruin, omissions that reduced the overall value of the law in an effort to appease tax conservatives. And while it would have revived the weekly federal unemployment benefits that expired in late July, he set them at $300, part of the original amount.
Democrats are pushing to repair the full paycheck.
“This bill may not take place because it’s so emaciated, so full of poisonous pills, it’s designed to fail,” said Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the minority leader in the Senate. “It’s not enough. It’s absolutely inappropriate. “
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, who played a prominent role in negotiations with Democrats on a stimulus package, questioned Wednesday the option of reaching an agreement, saying he is not sure there is another possibility.
“We’ll see, ” said Mr. Mnuchin. It’s for a lot of people. “
Coronavirus may be the most productive known for its brutal death in the elderly, but a new study of hospitalized patients demands situations in which the idea that other young people are immune.
The Harvard study letter found that of 3222 young adults hospitalized by Covid-19, 88 died, or about 2. 7%. One in five needed intensive care and one in 10 needed a fan to breathe.
Of those who survived, 99 patients, or 3%, may simply not be discharged from the hospital to the home and may be transferred to services for continued care or rehabilitation.
The study “states that Covid-19 is a deadly disease in others of all ages,” dr. Mitchell Katz, deputy editor of JAMA Internal Medicine, wrote in an adjunct editorial.
“Social esttachment, facial blankets and other approaches to preventing transmission are both in young adults and the elderly,” he says.
Nearly 60% of younger patients hospitalized with Covid-19 were men, and a similar percentage of age were black or Hispanic. Men were more likely to want a respirator than women and more likely to die. Extreme obesity and high blood pressure were also connected to a higher threat of mechanical ventilation or death.
The study, which was peer-reviewed and published Wednesday in JAMA Internal Medicine, evaluated young adults discharged from more than 400 hospitals in the United States between April 1 and June 30. Overall, just over a third were obese and a quarter incredibly obese. one in five had diabetes and about one in seven had high blood pressure.
The research leader, Dr. Scott D. Solomon, a professor of medicine at Harvard, noted that despite the accumulation of coronavirus cases among young people, the proportion of those who get so sick that they require hospitalization remains. Under.
At the same time, he said, some will become seriously ill and blacks and Hispanics are overrepresented among them.
“We communicate a lot about how other young people can pass the disease on to others who are more vulnerable, but we should point out that some other young people, not a massive number of those who are inflamed, however, a limited number have serious consequences of this disease,” Dr Solomon said.
Those with chronic fitness disorders are at increased risk, although some without obvious vulnerability are also seriously ill, he said.
“There are points we don’t perceive that they disclose to others about this disease,” Dr Solomon said. “They can be genetic, they can be environmental, they may be the other viruses that have been disclosed to us in our lives. “it’s a random nature here.
And researchers know very little about the long-term consequences for recovering adults. “What effects are they going to have for weeks, months or even years?”Dr. Solomon asked.
The federal government will end its policy of examining foreign travelers for coronavirus symptoms at 15 designated airports across the country next week, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. because the virus will also not be transported to those airports from Monday.
The C. D. C. stated that, instead, the federal government would devote resources to another – and indistrict – set of procedures, adding “health education” before and after flights, “disease response” at airports, and “potential testing. “
In a statement, the C. D. C. said physical health tests, which referred to temperature controls and interviews on imaginable symptoms of coronavirus, were no longer an effective way to detect infections in the “current phase of the pandemic. “
“We now have a greater understanding of Covid-19 transmission, indicating that symptom-based screening is limited in use because other people with Covid-19 may have no symptoms or fever at screening, or only mild symptoms,” the company said. Wrote.
A federal official familiar with policy replacement said some other detail would also be removed from fitness checks at U. S. airports. USA: The collection of touch data in case a passenger is found to have been exposed to the virus on a flight. official said the CDC may collect airline passenger data to assist local fitness facilities in their contact search efforts.
Airlines for America, an industry organization representing major airlines, said Thursday that it is the policy change. “We continue to spend limited detection resources where they can be used more productively and, given the incredibly small number of passengers known through the CDC for having a potential fitness problem, agree that it no longer makes sense to continue detection at those airports,” said Katherine Estep, the organization’s spokesperson.
Earlier this year, the Department of Homeland Security instituted the policy for travelers to the virus-ravaged spaces of the world, adding China and much of Europe, where the highest of the first outbreaks were tracked in the United States. it will screen at 15 major metropolitan airports, plus Chicago O’Hare, Washington Dulles and Newark Liberty International.
In the days following the ban by the President of Europe, workers at thirteen designated airports, a number that was then more than 15, rushed to implement the new medical examinations, creating confusion at the country’s airports. European country and readers who can enter the United States, adding those with symptoms of physical illness, said the screening procedure was lax or non-existent.
